What will be the plot of The Kissing Booth 2?
An official synopsis hasn’t been given for The Kissing Booth 2, but we can speculate on the plot of the film.
After spending a romantic few weeks together during the summer, Noah and Elle’s relationship will face their hardest challenge yet as the former bad-boy heads to Harvard University. Can their relationship handle the pressure of long-distance? After being so popular with the girls at school, Elle is likely to be worried about college girls trying to get into Noah’s pants. The same could be said for Noah as with him being so far away, the wolves that are high school boys will encircle hoping to take Elle away from him for themselves.

Did Beth Reekles write the story for The Kissing Booth 2?
Author of The Kissing Booth, Beth Reekles, received a writing credit on the first film as she is the author of the source material but director Vince Marcello wrote the screenplay. It’s unknown what level of involvement Beth Reekles had on the second film as she hasn’t been listed for a writing credit on The Kissing Booth 2.
Production on the second film had already begun by the time the author released her follow up novel, The Beach House. A third book, The Kissing Booth 2: Going the Distance, has also been published but to clarify it’s unclear if the author had any involvement with writing the screenplay for The Kissing Booth 2.
Thanks to the cover of her latest book, we have an indication that the story she has written would have given the writers, Vince Marcello and Jay S Arnold, a direction to take the characters of The Kissing Booth.
